A PRAY KB FOR LENT. Ami wbeu Ilv* hod fasted forty day* uml forty nights. Ho was aft* >r words almugt red. Ami when the temPtor came to Him, he said, If thou be the Hon of God, command that them* atom** be mado bread.’* Prayer and lusting, ob, my Father, Nearer lot me come to Tine: Lot the angel* whimper ever In my ear. Gt-thst mam . Alt, my baffled bean l.aa hutted Till it fasts with hungry punt; Vet if Thou will feed me. Saviour. All my lose 1 count as gain. Humbly let mo kneel before Tin •. With affeetiou crucified, With my spirit contrite, broken, Healed of all its huo.au pride. Keep my tongue from evil speaking, Keep my ears from foolish praise. Keep my heart from Satan’s whispers. Keep my feet in wisdom’s ways. Thou, who aeestnll my weakness. Thou who knowest I am dust, Pity me, and keep my treasure* All untouched by “moth and rust.'' When Thou wert ahnngerod, Saviour, Satan whispered in Thy ear; Now unto my human weakness He is standiug very ucar. And when in the cold, blind darkness Cries my hungry heart for bread. Close the temptor draws unto me— Offers wayside atones instead. Kingdoms of the world he shows mo. Fame, and wealth, and human pride. Tempts mo to forget the anguish Of the holy crucified. Ah. the kingdoms spread before iu< . Royal castles in the air, Gleaming turrets full of grandeur. Hidden chambers of despair. Lead mo, Father, for I stumble . Satan's hand is very near. And a broken reed ho offers While he whispers in my ear. Bids me know Thou art above me. Far beyond my human cry; Taunts me with my desolation ; Bills me curse Thee, Lord, and die. t'ioeo and closer, oh. my Saviour: “in the shadow of Thy w ing’’ I**t my wearied spirit nestle With the peace that faith . an bring' Po*>t>N(irtrni l.ovo. Why is it that so many people keep alft heir pleasant thoughts ami kind wards about man bottled and sealed up until he is dead : then come and break the bottle over his coffin and bathe his shroud iu fragrance? Many a man goes through life with scarcely one bright, cheering, encouraging, helpful word. He toils hard in low obscurity. He gives out his life freeh and unstintedly forothers. I remem ber such a man. He was not brilliant, he wus not great; but he was faithful. He had many things to discourage him. Troubles thickened about his life. He was misrepresented and misunderstood. Everybody believed (hat ho was a good man ; but nobody ever said kindly or pleasant things to him. He never heard a compliment, scarcely ever a good wish. No one ever took any jiains to encourage him, to strengthen his feeble knees, lighten his burdens, or to lift up bis heart by a gentle deed of love or by a cheer ing word. He was neglected. Un kind things were often said of him. I stood by his coffin, and then there were many tongues to speak his praise. There was not a breath of aspersion in the air. Men spoke of self-denials, of the work among the poor, of his good qualities, of his quitness, his modesty, his humility, his pureness of heart, his faith and prayer. There were many who spoke indignantly of the charges that false hood had forged against him in past years, and of the treatment he had received. There were enough kind things said during tlie two or three days that he lay in the coffin, and while the company stood urouml his open graro, to have blessed him and ( made him happy all his lifty years, and to have thrown sweetness and joy about his soul during all his pain ful and weary journey. There was enough sunshine wasted about that black coffin and dark grave to have made his whole life-path bright as clearest day. But his ears were closed -then, and could not hear a word that was spoken. His heart was still then, and could not bethrill ed by the grateful sounds. He eared [nothing then for the sweet flowers that were piled upon his coffin. The [love blossomed out too late. The [kindness came whan the life could mot receive its blessing. i Anil I said then that I would not keep all niv kind words and all my [pleasant thoughts and foldings about liny neighbor locked up in my breast till he is dead. They will do him no good then. His dead hand cannot feel the warm pressure. Gentle words will not. make his pale, cold face [glow. It will be too late when lie lies in the coffin to seek to make him happy, to lift the shadows of Ids life, !or to brighten his path. 1 Columbia (Ky.) Spectator.] %n Extraordinary “Blrili-niark.*’ About three months ago in the edge of Bussell county a child was born into a family in which other (children had previously made their [appearance from time to time, all I—except the last being well formed [and healthy. This last is an unusual t product of nature. The body from ! the head down to about the hips is in [ form and color, with few exceptions, very much like other white children ; around the hips it is perfectly black, its legs being like those of an ordi nary child. The head also is spotted, and the hair upon it is as stiff as the bristles of a nog. The sex of the I child cannot as yet be determined. The mother gives the following ex planation of the freak : A short time before the birth of the child, a vicious wild hog broke out of his pen, which was near the house, and with devour i ing intent, immediately made at a [ child that was playing in the yard. The mother witnessed this scene,and ■ so imminent was the. danger that she i was greatly terrified. She sprang to the little one’s assistance just in time to save it from the furious animal. ! The hog was of that kind known among farmers as “listed,” that is , having a stripe across his shoulders ; the remainder of his body was spot ted. The marks on the child corres ponded to these color marks on the nog. The hair on the child’s head is simply a number of stiff bristle-, pro jecting out from the skin. Up to this time it has been healthy, and bid fair to grow up to youthhood. It is a noticeable and melancholy fact that the composition of music of the highest order is one of the worst possible means of obtaining a liveli hood. In other words, it doesn’t pay. Rossini used to declare that it was utterly impossible, even for a popu lar opera-writer, to make such an in come by his works as would allow him to live comfortably, and lay by something from his savings ; and, if this was Rossini’s experience, what must naturally have been the rate of thoso who were greater than he, ami who wrote for far more scanty mid loss wealthy audiences! Handel, it is true, left a handsome fortuno be hind him; but, like Shakespeare, he earned it as a theatrical manager. Sebastian Bach earned u very mod estcompetency as a teacher and or ganist ; but the sale of his wonderful works would not have kept him in bread, even without cheese. Mozart and Beethoven barely drove the wolf from the door; Mendelssohn, happily for himself, was the son of a tolerably wealthy father. But the saddest ease of all was that of Schubert, the ma jority of whose works were wholly unsalable, while from those which were most popular lie gained only a wretched pittance, ./ppMo/i'x Magtt- queer Hrenrli of Promise. ! Boston Post.) ; The latest breach of promise suit in i the London courts lacks nothing of | romantic ilavor. Contrary to the j usual state of affairs, the plaintiff in i the ease is a man, a Mr. Townsend by name, who had farmed somewhat I extensively at Steeple Barton, Ox | fordshlre, mid there he became ac quainted with Miss Bennett, (he j (laughter of an extensive landed pro . prietor. Mr. Townsend and Miss Bennett, it appears, became very in i timate. and soon an engagement took [dace between them. It came to pass, now, that the father of Miss Bennett died, leaving his wife and daughter a large fortune, invested for the most part iu land. There was a farm worth •YUUf. a year rental which fell to Miss Bennett, and Mr. Townsend became a tenant of it at the rental of tits/, a year. Matters went on lovingly until the plaintiff discovered thill Miss Bennett’s mamma was trying to break olf the match. The old lady, the plaintiff alleges, was apprehensive that the property of her daughter would be appropriated by Townsend, and that prospective heirs would cut it all up. Soon after this discovery Townsend received a notice to quit Miss Bennett’s farm, and soon after there was an intimation that Miss Bennett would not perform her prom ise to marry him. The plaintiff pressed for marriage, and the lady said it should take place in the spring; but the spring passed, sum mer arrived, and the next spring also appeared, but still there was no mar riage. The plaintiff saw that the de fendant was not herself unwilling to marry, but that her mother did not wish to lose her daughter. Becoming impatient, Townsend called toseehis betrothed, hut he was met by tho mother, who ordered him off the premises. Thereupon Townsend said he would refer the matter to his so licitor, and then the mother asked him what he would take to release his claim to her daughter’s hand, “(live me #:t.ono cash and I’ll call it square,” said the young mail. I’his was too much money for the close fisted mama, however, and so the ease was carried to court, where the verdict is yet to bo reached. Sherry wine generally yiehlsa much larger per cent, of ash than other | kinds of wine. This arises from the I practice of sprinkling the grapes i with plaster to neutralize the malic acid present. It is contended, how j ever, and with much show of reason, j that (liis practice is without good foundation. It, however, gives us a j clue to the genuineness of the wine, as in the imitations the sulphate of lime is generally absent, or present in but-small quantities. Genuine un j bramliod and iinplustered sherry I should not contain above 14 per cent. I by volume of alcohol, nor should it ; yield more than 250 per emit, of ash; ■ but it Is almost needless to say that ; such a wine rarely, if ever, llitds ils | way to this country. Genuine port is ! still rarer; even in England it is uni formly brandietl from 2 to 10 per ; cent. Tests have been given from i time to time by which the genuine ness of port may be determined, but i they are of small value. Formerly it was the practice to sweeten sour port *by the addition of litharge, thus , forming acetate of lead, but this ■ practice is no longer followed, if we may believe some of the best author!- i ties on the subject.
